Lin Feng had no idea the First Sequence had nearly eliminated him moments ago.
With a boost to twice the speed of sound, he soon rode his board to the Life Gene Association headquarters.
He had no idea why the Life Gene Association was so fixated on being underground. Even its headquarters had been built beneath the surface.
The headquarters, however, was far larger than the one he had found before.
An electrified perimeter and patrols guarded the island.
Lin Feng had been spotted before he even reached it. But since he carried no weapons or anything else threatening, no one tried to stop him early.
Instead, a fully armed squad was sent to wait where he was expected to land.
The elite squad had twenty members, and even its weakest were at least Third-Level Mutants.

The squad did not normally handle patrols, but Lin Feng's astonishing speed had prompted an urgent order to investigate.
"Get ready. The target is expected to arrive in one minute."
The squad captain gave the order.
He was a Fourth-Level Mutant whose evolution favored strength. The sculpted muscles of his bare arms bulged beneath his combat vest.

"And his enhancements are probably in defense or physical resilience."
"The only question is whether he's friend or foe..."
Mutant enhancements could develop either the mind or the body.
For instance, many senior researchers at the institute had undergone mutations affecting their brains or
